A trailer full of bibles appears to have been intentionally set on fire at Greg Locke’s Global Vision Bible Church before Easter service, police say.

This is the same douche canoe that felt it was his moral obligation to do Harry Potter/Twilight book burning bonfires. My guess is the bible fire was a stunt he instigated to adjust the google search results for (His church)+ Book burning and so he can ride that persecution fantasy/fetish to completion.

Considering somebody… bought… those bibles, to burn….(and presumably the trailer?)

You’re probably not wrong.

I’m not Black, but Lol, the likelihood of a hypothetical black racist, vandal so desperate to get out their fantasized rage against poor rural whites and using the self lable of “Blacks” and also the vernacular of “rule”, which seems in about the 14-year-old white range, is so unlikely it’s pathetically obvious to everyone but this dumbass.

Yep, there’s no way anyone would bother to burn a bunch of Bibles, whether that’s atheists or competing religions.

Or just soak them in water and toss them in a cool moist place and let mushrooms grow on them.

You know. I heard stories as a teen of some evangelist whose Bible grew manna. And eating it caused divine revelation.

I assume they just baked some sort of sugar cookie, and the revelations and stuff were mostly just the work of an overactive imagination couple with an inactive sense of honesty.

Maybe they were shrooms…

These ridiculous, foolish people…

Religion is the one mental illness that is not allowed to be called a mental illness.

Don’t worry! Trump will sell them bibles for $60 each to replace the ones lost in the fire!
